EA Introduces Henry Hatsworth In The Puzzling Adventure For NDS

The Ultimate Fun, Quirky Game
That Intertwines Platform and Puzzle Genres

Love puzzle games, but also love an
adventure? Now you can have both in one game. The Casual Entertainment Label of
Electronic Arts Inc. today announces Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure
an exclusive Nintendo DS™ adventure-puzzle game that adds a new element of fun
by combining the action of an adventure game with the challenge of a puzzle game
all in one. “We are excited to bring an indie-inspired new intellectual property
to the EA Casual Entertainment Label with Henry Hatsworth that fuses together
two styles of gameplay utilizing the two Nintendo DS screens like never before,”
said Robert Nashak, VP of EA Casual Studios. “The innovative elements of the
game have the potential to appeal to both Nintendo enthusiasts and more casual
Nintendo DS players.”

Meet Henry Hatsworth, a quirky,
light-hearted character who players will guide on their journey through a new
style of gaming adventure on their Nintendo DS. In this two-in-one adventure,
players will explore five exotic worlds, fight a variety of opponents, and
venture through more than 30 levels, including nearly a dozen hidden levels
while taking on outrageous world-ending bosses. The separate worlds on the two
Nintendo DS screens have a cause and effect inter-relationship, and players
choose when to switch between conquering the action-platform realm and mastering
the increasingly challenging puzzle world. A wide variety of power-ups will help
Hatsworth in both of these worlds. Players will complete puzzle combinations and
defeat puzzle enemies in order to gain power ups, health, and energy to
supercharge Hatsworth in his adventure.

“Henry Hatsworth is an incredibly
unique game,” said Scott Walker, Henry Hatsworth Executive Producer. “It’s a
deep, challenging, and humorous game that you won’t want to put down.”

Developed by a team at EA Tiburon in
the EA Casual Entertainment Label, Henry Hatsworth is scheduled to be available
worldwide early 2009. The game is not yet rated by the ESRB or PEGI.
